Swiftly,
the
year
2022
has
come
to
an
end.
For
the
Tollywood
industry,
the
year
was
quite
fruitful.
May
heroes
have
succeeded
in
getting
recognition
at
the
national
and
international
levels
besides
films
that
worked
wonders
at
the
box
office.
To
put
it
together,
Tollywood
had
an
eventful
2022.
With
the
same
level
of
energy
and
enthusiasm,
the
moviegoers
are
going
to
be
treated
to
a
plethora
of
films
for
the
Sankranthi
of
2023.
Sankranthi/Pongal
is
an
important
festival
that
falls
at
the
beginning
of
every
year.
It
is
considered
the
harvest
festival
and
the
continuous
holiday
season
is
deemed
lucky
and
profitable
for
the
makers
of
films
to
showcase
their
products.
Most
of
the
filmmakers
wanted
to
release
their
big-budget
movies
for
Sankranthi
and
often
the
slots
for
Sankranthi
releases
are
booked
a
year
ago.
Sankranthi
is
a
huge
season
and
films
of
A-list
actors
usually
are
scheduled
to
hit
the
screens
during
the
same
time.
The
season
is
sentimental
for
a
few
actors
and
producers,
which
makes
it
even
more
special.
This
year
too,
for
the
upcoming
festival
season
of
2023,
there
are
several
big-budgeted
star
hero
films
as
well
as
low-budget
experimental
or
new-age
films
that
are
ready
to
hit
the
screens.
